As the trustees responsible for determining which of Pat Bowlen’s seven children will be best suited to inherit full control of the Broncos via a Willie Wonka-style competition, John Bowlen is becoming Augustus Gloop.

The arrest came in California, where police booked him for one misdemeanor charge of being under the influence of a drug or alcohol and one count of having a blood-alcohol concentration higher than 0.08 percent.

John Bowlen remained in jail as of 11:00 a.m. ET on Monday.

In 2015, John Bowlen was arrested on domestic violence. A conviction for harassment came the following year. John Bowlen’s employment with the Broncos ended last year, too.

Perhaps the one where the Pats are 1-4 (1-3 in the B&B era) lifetime against the Broncos in the playoffs? Denver & NYG are the only teams to have faced the Pats in the playoffs more than once and have a winning record against them. The Donks & Giants are their kryptonite, for whatever reason.
